What a great car for the price. I wanted to "Buy American" and couldn't be more pleasantly surprised with Pontiac's newest offering. Sporty looks, comfortable ride, nimble handling, and great gas mileage from a quiet, smooth, peppy engine. It has all the features I was looking for, many unexpected on a car at this price point. Leather, heated seats, On-Star, and the Pioneer sound system with the ipod input jack are all great in this class of car.
Love My New G5

I purchased my new Pontiac G5 on 9/30/06 and I love it! It is fun to drive and handles really well. The CD/radio sound is especially awesome. It is easy to park in small spaces with the manual transmission.

I was skeptical in buying this car since it was only out for a month or so when I bought it...But after I did I was very satisfied with my decison. The seats take a little time to get comfortable to. Acceleration and gas mileage are great. For me, the as mileage is peaking at 25 mpg for light highway, mostly city driving which is average. The handling is great too.
Simply Amazing

I couldn't have been more pleased with this car. For the price you simply can't do any better. The G5 has great power, awesome features and looks very sporty. I would recommend this car to anyone I know.

I love my new G5 it is fun to drive. I have a new Dodge Ram as well so I get the best of both worlds. I wanted something sporty and fun to drive. I found it.
A lot better than a Cobalt

The engine is a bit thrashy while its being gunned. The gas mileage is superb for a 4 cylinder that makes this kind of power. Overall a great value compared to the Tiburon GT, Civic Si, and Mazda 3s.

i wanted a sporty car , but needed a family car. I got both when i bought this car 7 days ago. It has everything a family of 5 could need and all the sportiness a single woman or man could want. I would not trade this car for anything in the world.
Excellent Car!

This is my first brand new car, and I couldn't be happier. The engine performs great on the highway, as well as in the city. The heated leather seats are nice in the cold Colorado weather. And it handles better than most cars I've driven. I can't think of another car that even compares to this one in the same price range.
Still Impressed

I purchased my G5 (Manual Trans.) in September of '06. 6 months later, I am still impressed. The fuel economy is outstanding. All of my miles are interstate/highway miles, and tank after tank I average 34-36 mpg. The pickup is sweet. Turns are remarkably easy and U turns still make me smile. Great car for the money.
Nice

This is the first new car that I have ever owned. I have the GT with premium package. It is fun to drive, and I have had no problems with it yet. I drive a long way to work, and this car is great on gas. If you are thinking about it, go test drive one and fall in love.
Great Little Car!

So far this car has been fun to drive. Very comfortable for a small car and great features available in this class. GM has definitely improved upon their product quality!
Super car for the money!

I've had this car for about a week, so long term details obviously aren't here. But I've absolutely loved it. I had already bought a G6 earlier this year and was looking to get another, but the style and color I wanted was sold just before I got to the dealer. Looking around the lot I saw the G5, a 5 speed, very basic model. I hadn't driven a stick in years, but I found it immediately easy and fun to drive. The bottom line is this: needing 2 cars to replace aged ones, we were able to get a G5 and G6 for about the price of a Hummer's front end suspension! Can't recommend them too much.
Don't waste your money

I bought this car with high hopes getting out of a high price for repair VW. Well good thing this car came with a great warranty because I used it 4 times already. My clutch had a manufacturing defect which made it pop off the plate twice leaving me stranded. So they put in a new clutch plate. Then my rotors went at 9000 miles and had to be resurfaced, which they called normal. I've had cars go 30k and not need that. This car just feels poorly made overall. It's peppy for a 4 banger but the handling is too loose and the transmission shifts awkwardly rough compared to my old cars. I really wouldn't waste your money. I'll definitely never buy another Pontiac again.

I have owned this car for about two weeks and have driven it about 1000 miles. The car sounds like it has a window open when driven over 45mph. You can hear the air rush over the radio it is so bad. The steering wheel has shaking problems when I step on the breaks. The trunk opening is very small which is a drawback to the big space inside it. I was promised a cruise control for it only to find the EVS dealer is putting on an aftermarket version with no warranty. This car is a terrible car in all of these respects.
I love this car

This is my sec time posting about my car. I first posted when I got the car. Now I have had the car a year and it has 10k on it. I just took my car on vacation and we drove over 3000 miles in less then 3 days. On the highway with 4 people in the car, all our stuff in the trunk and the ac on max I got 32.5 mpg at 75 mph. After I got back I wanted to run the car at the track to see its 1/4 time so I did and with me, my uncle and a full tank of gas, it ran a 15.7 at 88 mph. This car has taken all the abuse I have given it and with it being my first 5-speed car ever it's been one hell of a car. It's never been in for warranty work and I definitely will be buying another Pontiac after this one.
Good car but room for improvement

My 1st car and just clicked over 13000k and so far the car has been good through the summer and very reliable in winnipeg's -40 weather.Brakes rust really badly and look terrible behind the revealing rims.This car is tough to upgrade power wise without putting alot of money into it,it can handle bolt ons but anything more and you will need new injectors and a tune that will void your warrenty.Premium fuel is recommended and it shouldn't run without it if u want optimum performance, but with the price of gas its getting harder to afford the extra 10-15 cents per liter.Gas mileage is so so i get about 24mpg all city.Overall very good car in 5 speed very fun and i recommend it!
Fun and sporty

I have had this car for almost a week and I really enjoy driving it. It's really great on gas. I still have not been to the gas station since I bought the car. I commute from Maryland to DC everyday, so far with 4 trips I'm just below half tank.
Great Car!

I traded in a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am for this car. What a deal! The car rides great and met my expectations. I read previous reviews of this car and agree with what people said, good and bad.

I bought my G5 a week ago and love it. I love everything about the car. The way it drives, the way it rides, absolutely everything. I could have not picked a better car for myself. And the price for a brand new car was amazing. Not to bad.
Amazing!

I purchased this car because it was the right price. I bought it stock, empty, and it came with cruise and all power and everything. I love the car it handles real well. The rims are great stock, not cheap. I drove a Miata and miss the convertible but I am getting an installed moonroof. It is a great car to drive and I can fill up for $35 and get 300 miles. It is a looker and I love attention. If you dont like attention, dont get yellow. I test drove many, and the stick GT is the way to go, great buy.

The Pontiac G5 coupe that I purchased and drove for two weeks has problems. The wind noise in the car is terrible. You can hear the wind noise above the radio when driving at speeds above 50 mph. I had warped rotors on the car that cause the steering wheel to shake upon braking. The trunk opening space is very small and makes things difficult to put in.
Pontiac G5 - Not bad for GM

I wanted a vehicle that would be reliable as well as stylish. When I started the buying process I didn't know exactly what I wanted. I knew however that i wanted something sporty that got as much flatter from other people as it did gas mileage. I got that and more. It's so comfortable it makes your driving experience wonderful.
Just good sense and plain fun

I have had my cometition yellow G5 for over 3 months now, and this car really rocks. When I drive like a gentleman, with cruise control set to 57 mph, I get better then 43 MPG! I have a few packages with the car, #1 being the sunroof which includes an upgraded sound system (bass reflex port in trunk) and XM radio included for a full year. Just a wonderful experience for a guy who will never buy an import. GM got its act together quite well with this car. More trunk space then expected plus pass through to interior cabin was handy. The 16 inch tire/mag wheel combo helps hold the road.
Simply amazing!

I have this fun little car for almost a month now. Basically, it is as everyone else has said and if I were to fault this car at all, it would be for the interior plastics. The plastics are easy to scratch. Easy. I mean, you don't mean, but you look, and you see you scratched something. What did it, a coin? Ring? Finger nail? The design layout of the plastic pieces is good, and that is cause of the scratching. There's a cubby hole for pens, an area to lay the iPod, lots of nice areas to lay thing, but that is how the scratches occur. I gave it "5" for interior design due to this.
Excellent car! I'd buy again

The price was great, and the economy is typical of a 4 cylinder (hi 20s in town, mid 30s highway---regular gasoline). I don't see a compelling reason to go Japanese any more if vehicles like these continue being offered. Interior for me as the driver centers on ease of getting to the radio, ample opportunities of getting the iPOD connected to my radio, simple reach for the HVAC. Mine is the coup and blind spots abound, as others have probably noted. I would have no problem buying this car again.
Happy Owner

After a month, we've got 2000 miles and am really convinced it's the right car for me. We went planning to get another G6 but decided to check out the less expensive G5. I'm 6'4" and didn't really think it would work out for me but it does! I even had room in the one with the sunroof! Tight handler, roomy for 2 plus luggage and getting better than EPA rated 32 mpg. Have to watch it though, it sneaks up to 80 mph real easily!
Get in your Pontiac and ride!

We looked at and tried a lot of cars, but didn't care for them. My wife suggested that we go to a Pontiac dealer and see what they had. I had never seen a G5, didn't know they existed. The G5 is a real sleeper. It makes you want to throw rocks at the other cars, especially those overrated Asian cars that people are so proud of. Phooey! When I saw the American G5, I knew it was right. I was so certain about this car that I bought it outright without driving it first. My wife and I love it. It's everything we want in a car. We are so glad that we found it. This sport coupe has class. The boring Asian cars have no more charm than kitchen appliances.

The car handles great, even at high speeds it's a smooth ride. I can pull a u-turn just about anywhere and park in the smallest places. When I baby it I can get over 35 mpg and so far I haven't dropped below 32. When it's cold out I can hear a rattle coming from the front passenger side, I don't know what it is but it hasn't been a problem. My car suprises everyone with it's speed. It's no race car, but for it's class it's impressive. I can easily turn em over in second gear with 3 passengers.
Very nice ride!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my 2007 Pontiac G5. But now it is starting to have problems already and it hasn't even been five months since I bought it brand new off the lot. I'm not sure if it is just my car experiencing these problems or if there are others, but there are not any recalls about leaks. Two months after I bought the car, the front windshield leaks. We just recently had a big rainstorm, I go look in my trunk and there is a good 3 inches of standing water in my trunk surrounding my battery. Other than these problems, which shouldn't be happening, this car is a great choice for my first car. Nice and smooth riding.
Good Choice

I bought two vehicles in 07 this G5 and a mid size SUV. I drive 135 miles daily and picked this G5 over the smaller foreign brands for my commute. I am an old man compared to the kids driving this car. Have been driving 40 years and owned as many vehicles. I love this car all around.Handling, ride, and mileage obtained. At 80 MPH I get 30 MPG and at legal speeds on the interstate as high as 37.7 MPG! Power is good. Love the XM & seat comfort setting as low as it can go. I am 5 11 215lbs and perfectly comfortable driving three hours daily. Good choice no regrets at 22K and climbing fast.

I have had my G5 for about 6 months now and I love the car but have had MANY problems with it. My dad works at the dealership I bought it from as a mechanic. I have had it in there for a number of problems. Sunroof button kept falling out, coolant leak (4 times for that problem), Oil leak was the recent one. None of them are because of my driving, the car has 8,000 miles on it there is NO reason for this to be happening. Other then that its a great car. Sort of a small backseat when using a car seat for an infant in back but what can you expect with a small coupe. The truck opening is also WAY small, Big truck but small opening

I have had my 2dr coupe for almost a year now and overall it is a good car. I have never had maintenance done on my car except for necessary oil changes. I do not have any problems with seeing through the back window because of the rear spoiler like a lot of other people have mentioned. I actually think the spoiler gives the car a more sporty look. Some people may not like the firm seats but personally I find them quite comfortable. The car accelerates well considering the 4 cylinder and is a great around town driver. I would not however recommend this car for someone who does a lot of highway driving as it is very light on the road and tends to sway because of the loose steering.

Every time I walk out my front door, I look at my 2007 Pontiac G5 and say "Hello Beautiful!" I love my car. The exterior is nice, the interior is easy to keep clean and I get great gas mileage for an automatic. I do a lot of highway driving (70 mph) and this car handles beautifully at high speeds. I have no problems getting up to speed to merge either.

I just got a yellow 2 door Pontiac G5. It's a 2007. I love this car. I've had it for 2 days now, an couldn't ask for a better car. Great fuel economy, XM radio, great pioneer sound system (stock), sun roof, great interior an exterior look. Its a good car all around. I use to have a 04 sunfire, but I'm absolutely in love with this car. An wouldn't trade it even for a Ferrari.

A fun car to drive. It's very sporty and has great pickup for only having a 4cylinder. My fiance is always bugging me to let her drive it as well. Overall, a great car and my favorite yet of the 4 cars I have owned.
